G74 Face Grooving Cycle

Cycle Syntax

G00 X50.0 Z1.0
G74 R1.0
G74 X10.0 Z-10.0 P10000 Q3000 F0.1;

Parameter Explanation

X – Final diameter (e.g., 10mm)
Z – Final depth (e.g., -10mm)
P – X-axis shift (in microns)
Q – Z-axis peck amount (in microns)
R – Relief distance (e.g., 1mm)
F – Feedrate during grooving

Visual Representation

⚠️ Important:
🔸 P and Q values must be given in microns (1mm = 1000 microns).
🔹 Example: P10000 = 10mm, Q3000 = 3mm.
❗ Do not enter values in mm – this can cause tool crash or incorrect motion.
